📄 How can I test the receipt OCR API?
Our receipt API is free to use and available to any user having an account on our platform.
To test our APIs, you only have to create a free account using this link, and you'll be able to drag and drop receipts in the live interface to see the data extracted in real-time and JSON response. A demo page is also available here.
💸 Is Mindee's receipt OCR API free to use?
A free plan is available to everyone and allows you to perform 250 receipts processing per month for free. No credit card is required.
Above 250 receipts per month, the price per receipt processed starts at $0.10 and can decrease to $0.01 per receipt depending on the monthly volume. See the pricing page for more information.
🗺️ What are the supported countries?
Our receipt OCR API is based on our computer vision technology that doesn't rely on text to extract the receipt data, but only on the image. This removes the language limitations.
The OCR was trained with receipts from more than 50 countries and works on receipts from all around the world for numeric fields, and all Latin alphabet countries for text ones.
🕔 How complicated is it to integrate the API?
Mindee's API follows HTTP standards in order to allow any developer to integrate the receipt OCR API into their applications easily.
We also offer a set of client libraries in all the main back-end languages, and an open-source UI toolkit that helps create front-end features. You can check out our open-source repository or our API documentation for more details.
📈️ What is the OCR accuracy?
Our receipt OCR's accuracy is above 90%, with precision above 95% for most of the fields. These performances are computed on a data set including more than 50 countries.
Testing our OCR API is free, all you need is an account. Feel free to drop receipts in the live interface to see the OCR performance on your data.
⚡ What's the average API response time?
The processing time is around 1.3 seconds per page for pdfs and 0.9 seconds for a receipt image.
We often improve this processing time and our target is below 500ms. Our goal is to make sure you can create real-time user experiences in your application.
🎯️ Does the OCR work on low-quality images?
Yes, the OCR was trained on a lot of receipts from a wide variety of layouts and image quality and learned to process the most complex ones.
We also use data augmentation to make sure that no blur or ink stains prevent the OCR from reading the data as long as it's readable.
🤓️ Do you offer technical support?
We have a Slack community where you can ask your questions and chat with our team.
We don't do the integration in your infrastructure ourselves but we can set up a custom level of support on a per-case basis if needed.
